Chapter 275: Hope is there, dreams are there
Although he was reluctant in his heart, looking at Gao Jie and others who were eyeing him with knives and guns, Huang Degong had to choose to give in.
Although in his heart, Chongzhen should not be the king of Fu if he is still alive, but Ma Shiying is not wrong when he has something to say, Chongzhen has been the emperor for more than ten years, and the Ming Dynasty is really not as good as day by day, maybe, maybe there will be changes in another emperor.
However, will King Fu be a good emperor?
Seeing that Huang Degong finally gave in, Gao Jie and the others also put down the swords in their hands, it is easy to kill Huang Degong now, but there is still Huang Degong's army outside, if his own side is on fire, Shi Kefa will definitely see the clues, or the big thing is important.
"Go out first, keep watch at the door, and let no one come near." Gao Jie inserted the knife into the sheath and whispered to Li Chengdong.
Li Chengdong glanced at Huang Degong, nodded and turned around and went out.
Ma Shiying glanced at Gao Jie approvingly, then turned around and sat back in his seat.
Now that the matter has come to this, Ma Shiying has thought it through, and now that the matter has come to an end, he has no way back. Huang Degong can still retreat, because he is a military general, and he has the title of Earl Jingnan, and now is the time for the court to employ people, even if Chongzhen becomes the emperor again, he will not be treated well.
Gao Jie and Er Liu are purely fighting for their own glory and wealth, and want to be the heroes of Conglong, Ma Shiying himself has actually become the governor, advocating that Jiangbei should be military and civilian affairs, it can be said that the official position has reached its peak, and it has reached the limit in addition to entering the cabinet and administering the government.
It is said that Ma Shiying doesn't have to take risks anymore, but now he can't take risks, one is that he can't make Shi Kefa's pit unclear this time, and when Chongzhen arrives in Nanjing, Shi Kefa's status will definitely be appointed as the first assistant, and then Shi Kefa will definitely settle accounts after the autumn, and then turn over this matter, with Chongzhen's suspicion, he will no longer have any future at all.
Besides, Gao Jie and the others have already killed the messenger and seized the letter, and they have already set themselves up, and they can't get off the boat if they want to, and there is only one way to go to the dark.
After thinking clearly, Ma Shiying immediately regained her composure and began to arrange the next things.
"General Gao, you order your subordinates to continue patrolling to prevent other messengers from leaking through, send people to closely monitor Shi Kefa, and do not allow him to meet strangers before leaving, and do not allow strangers to approach his station." Ma Shiying said to Gao Jie.
"Lu Zhenfei will not send only one messenger, maybe there will be others, there may be messengers from the waterway to Nanjing at the same time, Liu Zeqing, you order your subordinate sailors to check on the Yangtze River, and strictly check all ships coming from the east!" Ma Shiying continued to order.
"The messenger came to deliver the message at an expedited speed of six hundred miles, but the news must have spread in Huai'an now, and we can't strictly block it anymore, and it will reach here and Nanjing in a few days. So we're going to have to make a time difference. I will go to meet King Fu in a moment, tell him the news, and then I will know Shi Kefa, and immediately cross the river to Nanjing early tomorrow morning.
As long as King Fu arrives in Nanjing, the first step will be to become a prisoner, at that time, coercion or temptation, you can always get the refuge of the noble ministers of Nanjing, even if the news of Chongzhen's life really comes, there will definitely be many people who want King Fu to be the emperor. We are in charge of the military power, and then we want to get the consent of the Nanjing military, especially Zhao Zhilong, Liu Kongzhao and other powerful nobles, even if Shi Kefa and others oppose it at that time, it will not be able to set off many big waves, and it is a big deal that we will use the army to directly push the king of Fu to ascend the throne. ”
Ma Shiying talked eloquently, and said the ideas and countermeasures in his heart one by one, and Gao Jie and others were excited and deeply admired.
Gao Jie and these people may have a set of wars, but if you talk about conspiracy and trickery, it is not half a star worse than Ma Shiying, who has been in the officialdom for a long time.
"But Chongzhen is alive and has already received the support of Lu Zhenfei, if we are supporting King Fu to ascend the throne, wouldn't there be two emperors, there are no two heavens and no two people, and we can't afford the chaos!"
Huang Degong made a final effort, trying to convince Ma Shiying to think more.
"It's okay, King Fu ascends the throne, it's good to be the emperor of Chongzhen, as long as King Fu ascends the throne and gets the support of the ministers in Nanjing, Lu Zhenfei will also cover his flag, I understand Lu Zhenfei, he is a person who takes big things as the priority, and in order to avoid civil strife and avoid cannibalism, he will no longer support Chongzhen."
A relatively simple-minded military general like Huang Degong is still very easy to fool, Ma Shiying said something, although he was suspicious in his heart, Huang Degong still kept his mouth shut.
"Jing Nanbo, everything we do now is for the good of Daming. Facts have proved that Chongzhen is no longer suitable to be the emperor, if he continues to reign, the only way to wait for the Ming Dynasty is to perish. Since you have chosen to support King Fu with everyone, you can't be half-hearted, otherwise it won't be good for you or Daming! Ma Shiying looked at Huang Degong seriously and said.
After being silent for a moment, Huang Degong nodded heavily, "Please rest assured, Lord Zhongcheng, I will fully support King Fu!" ”
"Okay, go and prepare, I will go to King Fu now, and this matter must be reported to him immediately." Ma Shiying waved his hand. The protagonist of this matter is King Fu, and he must get the consent of King Fu, otherwise even if he and others jump up and down again, it will be useless.
"The last will retire!" Gao Jie and the others bowed and said in unison.
Ma Shiying nodded and walked towards the mansion where King Fu lived.
Since the fall of Luoyang, King Fu has been like a lost dog bumping around, there are not many people around him, when Ma Shiying entered, he only saw the eunuch Lu Jiude accompanying King Fu Zhu Youxiang. Because of the reason why he served Lao Fu King back then, Zhu Youxiang trusted Lu Jiude very much.
"Lord Zhongcheng is here, what's wrong?" Lu Jiude greeted Ma Shiying with a smile, but saw Ma Shiying's serious face.
"Something big happened, Chongzhen, Chongzhen is still alive." didn't care about saluting Zhu Youxiang, Ma Shiying said directly, and his words frightened Lu Jiude and Zhu Youxiang.
"This, this, Ma Qing's family, you're not joking." Zhu Youxiang's fat face trembled, and he reluctantly smiled at Ma Shiying.
"When is it, how dare the minister joke with the prince." Ma Shiying's serious face made Zhu Youxiang completely give up his illusions.
"It's over, it's over." Zhu Youxiang sat heavily on the chair, stunned, full of thought that he would catch an emperor to do it, and do what his father didn't do, who knew that the dream was not a few days, and he had to wake up.
"I just want to ask the prince, do you still want to be the emperor?" Ma Shiying asked at Zhu Youxiang.
"Everyone wants to do it, but Chongzhen is back, what else can he do?" Zhu Youxiang said dumbfoundedly.
"As long as King Fu wants to, I have a way to put you on the throne!" Ma Shiying's words made Zhu Youxiang sit up straight all of a sudden, and his eyes were full of hope.
